About us

With combined experience of more than three decades in both the residential and commercial industry

Starting Point Residential is a proudly family-run estate agency, led by husband-and-wife team Joe and Michaela. We realised that the traditional estate agency model no longer delivered the level of service our customers deserved — nor did it allow great agents to truly thrive. This insight became the driving force behind Starting Point Residential.

By combining a personal, family-led approach with modern estate agency expertise, we are committed to delivering exceptional customer care and building lasting relationships with our clients.

We combine expert local knowledge with broader market insight, powered by eXp, ensuring our clients receive accurate, up-to-date information to make the best decisions at the right time.

Joe Ross

Joe Ross

Founder / Director

After spending over a decade working for some of the biggest estate agent companies in the UK, I noticed that although the way people purchase and view items has changed, estate agents have remained the same!

I believe it is time to present homes to the public, focusing on not just the property but also the lifestyle, owners’ experiences and local attractions. This is best presented through video on social media.

By showcasing the home, the location and the lifestyle, this creates the perfect viewing experience.

Michaela Ross
